MATZAH OF HOPE
That the Jews of the Soviet Union may know that they have not been forgotten and that we are. one in . brotherhood, we urge that the following Statement be. read at the Seder of every American Jewish household.
The leader of the service takes up the matzah, sets it aside, and says:
THIS IS THE "MATZAH OFHOPE"
This Matzah, which we set aside as a symbol of hope for the Jews of the Soviet Union, reminds us of the mdestructiblejinks that^exist between us. As -we ob¬ serve this festival of freedom, we know that Soviet Jews are not free to leave without harassment; to learn of their past; to pass on their religious traditions; to learn the languages of their fathers; to. train the teachers and the rabbis of future generations.
We remember with bitterness the scores of Jewish prisoners of conscience who sought to live as Jews and struggled to leave for Israel — the land of our fathers — but now languish in bondage in Soviet labor camps. Their struggle against their.oppressors is part of an ongoing.effo'rt, and they shall know that they have not been forgotten. . '
•As Soviet Jews assert themselves, they are joinedby all who are. aroused by their affliction.
WE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THEY EMERGE INTO THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM.
